Parallel Paths

Whether you are disillusioned with a big brokerage firm or looking for an entrepreneurial group of like-minded advisors, Parallel offers you a firm that aligns with your goals of independence and transparency. We run a conflict-free firm, free of product and platform bias. We are not held captive to proprietary products. As a registered investment advisor, we have a fiduciary responsibility to work in the best interests of our clients. As an employee-owned firm, we also feel a moral responsibility to work in everyone’s best interests. We reward individual business development efforts as well as incentivize collaborative work. Compensation is simple and straightforward, with an opportunity for equity ownership. And, we cover overhead including operational support, health benefits, technology, software licensing, travel, client events, and professional development.

Collaborative Teamwork

Our culture encourages open, ongoing communication and exploration. We leverage one another’s specialized expertise to provide clients with holistic thinking as well as targeted recommendations. We also support synergy among our clients’ outside advisors, including accountants and lawyers, working as the contact person to help ensure their finances are consistently aligned with their goals.

Innovative Partnerships

To augment our expertise, we search the industry to find the most talented professionals in key areas of wealth management, from portfolio construction to research to due diligence. In this way, you can focus on what you do best – serving your clients – to help ensure they are getting the best resources for their money.

Disciplined Philosophy

Planning-based: We use a disciplined wealth management process that begins with in-depth financial planning. This comprehensive financial goal analysis provides clients with a relevant course of action for investing, tax, estate planning, and insurance. The plan is typically updated annually. We find that clients appreciate a well thought-out approach, which creates the foundation for a trusting relationship. At the end of the process, the client, CPA, and estate attorney are all on the same page with a clearly defined path to move forward.

Asset Allocation: We provide open architecture investment solutions, meaning we have access to virtually any investment on any platform. We also partner with thought-leaders in advanced asset allocation models using active, passive, and alternative strategies. Using strategic partners provides our clients with innovative asset allocation,

analytics, as well as timely research. Clients benefit from independent, unbiased, and objective investment solutions. Top-tier custodial platforms also provide transparency and service.

Comprehensive Reporting: Industry-leading reporting shows transparent returns relative to an appropriate benchmark for each asset class. We can run these reports dynamically anytime and can report on assets held with hundreds of custodians. Clients appreciate having one consolidated report detailing every investment they hold, including assets held away such as 401(k) plans, alternative investments, and collectibles. These reports are easy to read and clearly show relative performance net of fees.
